Possible Causes

Utility supply voltage above specification, Loose neutral or line connection in service panel, Faulty internal voltage sensing circuit on main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Overvoltage can damage the charger and vehicle. Do not bypass this protection.

  • Step 1 – Measure supply voltage:
    • With a multimeter and appropriate PPE, measure line-to-line voltage at the charger's input terminals (qualified person only).
    • Compare to the charger's rated input (typically 208–240 VAC). If consistently above spec, contact your utility or electrician.
  • Step 2 – Inspect panel connections:
    • Have an electrician check for loose lugs, corroded breakers, or shared neutrals causing voltage imbalance.
    • Correct any wiring defects.
  • Step 3 – Power cycle and retest:
    • Turn OFF the breaker for 2 minutes, then turn it back ON.
    • Check if the error clears and the charger resumes normal operation.
  • Step 4 – Internal sensing fault:
    • If measured voltage is normal but the charger still reports overvoltage, the main control board voltage sensing circuit may be defective.
    • Contact ChargePoint support or an EVSE technician to replace the control board.
